Whittier and Franklin.
New Haven News.

Last summer, during a stay at noun
tain resort, it was our pleasure to meet
tie venerable DR.. Bowditch of Boston,
one of the liginal aud most active abo-
litionists, and friend OF Whittier. Speak
ing of the poet, DR.. BOwditcn gave US q
ouatrain, which, so far as he knew, had
never got into print. 1t was sent by
Viii tier in answer TO the request OF
friend for an inscription to be placed on 2
sun dial:
With warning hand mark Times rapid flight,
From LIES glad morning to s solemn night.
Yes, through the dear Gods love, also show
There's hguG above me by the shade blow
A personal letter to Mr.. Whittier, ask
ink permission 10 quote the stanza, and
also iuqulring whether it had been
printed, yesterday brought the following
reply, in the poets own handwriting:
AMEs3URY. 18th Mo. 80 1885.
DEAR FRIEND: The lines referred to in
thy letter, think, have appeared in print,
but see no reason why they may Iot be
quo ed in thy article, as probably only q
few have ever seen them. Thanking thee
for thy kind wishes, am truly thy friend,
JOHN G. WHITTIER.
DIR. Bowditch also favored US with an
anecdote of Franklin. The Quaker states
man was at gathering of kindred spirits
who were amusing them elves with max
ing off-hand rhymes on subjects offered
them, impromptu. Franklin was given
"Man,' and Immediately reeled off these
lines:
He comes into the world naked and bare;
He goes through the world in sorrow and care
He goes. when he dies, The LOrf knows where,
But If we do well here well do well there.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-The president
sent the following message to congress
to-day:
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
As mstter of natioual interest and
one solely within the discretion and con-
troll of congress, l transmit the accom-
panying memorial Of the executive COM
mittee of the sub-constitutional centen-
NAL commission, proposing to cele-
brate the 18th CT September, 1887,
in the city of P5iladelphia
as the day upon which and the place
where the convention that framed the
federal constitution concluded their Ia
bors and submitted the result for the rat
ification to the thirteen states then COM
posing The United States. The epoch
was one of deepest interest, and will ever
be worthy Of cOmmemoration.
I am aware that as each state
acted Independently in giving f.
adhesion to the new constitution the dates
and anniversaries of their several ratifica-
tions are not coincident Some action
tn .
ton to the celebration OF the close of the
first century of our popular government
under our written constitution
has been suggested, and while
stating great interest is felt
by the American people by the renewed
examination of the historical foundation
of their government, do not feel war
ranted in discriminating in favor of or
against the proposition to select one day
or place in preference to all others, and
therefore l content myself with con-
veyirg to congress these expressions
of the popular feeling and interest upon
the subject, hoping that in spirit of
patriotic CO operation, rather than of local
competition, measures may be enacted by
congress which will give the amplest OPP
porlunity all over these United States for
the manifestation of affection and con-
1dence OF a free and mighty nation in the
institutions Of the government, of which
they are the fortunate inheritors and IN
der which an unexampled pros perity has
been enjoyed by all classes and condi-
tions of our social system.

CAMDEN's CEPHALIC CACOTROPHY.

A Senator's Self Abstraction Which Star
ties Society With sundry Surprises.
Wash Cor Boston Traveller.
Senator Camden of West Virginia is
probably the most absent-minded man in
public life. Not long ago Senator Eustis
of Louisiana gave an elaborate dinner to
which Camden was invited. He accepted
and went. A DAY or two
afterward he happened to see the
invitation upon his desk. Turning to his
private secretary, he remarked that he
owed Eustis most humble apology for
neglecting to reply, and said he intended
to square himself without delay. The
secretary looked up with an amused
smile, aud said that he didn't see any
great necessity for apologiziDg,
a statement that at once ar
rested the senatCt's attention
Then the secretary quitely iu-
CURED: "Senator, why do you purpose
10 apologize? Don't you remember that
you went to his dinner and came home
and said you had an elegant timer" AT
ter thinking for moment Camden did
remember that he had been the guest of
his colleague, and it Is perhaps unneces-
sary to add that he didn't apologize.
Another incident happened in the SEN
ate chamber just before the opening OF
the session. The senator was busy az
his desk looking over mis- correspondence,
when gentleman entered and shook him
by the hand. Camden had puzzled look
upon his face, but he conversed with the
visitor for some little time. When
the gentleman left, the senator turned
around and said to Mr.. Kenna, his
colleague, "John, who is that young fell
low" Kenna replied, "Great Scott,
Camden, that is the young lieutenant
who is going to marry your daughter
next week" A few evenings ago Cam
den thought he would 20 to the
theater. As it was raining he
borrowed an umbrella from his
private secretary AID marched down
the street. When he returned
his secretary wss astonished to see him
come into the house dripping with rain
and his new silk hat all but ruined Cam
den had walked home in the storm with
out his umbrella, simply because he had
forgotten that he carried one to the the
ater. The senator knows his weakness,
but he is apparently unable to cope sue
cessfully with it. 4

Spurious "FIoraI Iributss


| am glad to see Il at there is q pronun-
ciamento in Vienna against "loral trib-
utes" to artists on the stage. Occasion
ally they are spontaneous, but as a rule
they are got up affairs. l remember be-
ing behind the scenes some years ago
when a lady, who was then (and de-
servedly so) "stage queen" was acting.
Her husband arrived with some twenty or
thirty bouquets and huge basket of
flowers. The former he dis
tributed among the door-openers,
the latter he placed in the
orchestra. At the ED Of the first act the
bouquets were thrown, out no sooner was
the curtain down than they were picked
up and taken back to the door-openers to
be thrown again at the end of the next
act. When the play was over the basket
of flowers was solemnly handed up from
the orchestra. This same actress was
once playing the part of boy. A bou-
quet was thrown TO her while the heroine
of the piece was on the stage, and she
had to hand it to the latter in accordance
with stage etiquette. No sooner, how
ever, had the curtain fallen than
she asked for the bouquet. The
heroine declined to give 1t up, and
said that perhaps it hao been thrown to
her. "But there is a ring in it," cried
the boy. "Well," said the heroine, "per-
haps the ring, too, was for me-" In the
end the boy had to explain that the bou-
quet and the ring were both her own, and
that she had told her husband to throw
them to her. She had contemplated
drawing the ring, coram publico, out
from the bouquet with grateful surprise.
But her husband had muddled it, and
thrown her the votive Offering when The
heroine was on the stage &

q Close Contest.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND Jan. lS.-ln re-
Spouse to a call OF Chief Justice Elliott,
the judges of the supreme court came to
the city to-day to hear argument on the
appeal brought by Lieut.Gov. Robertson
in the iniupc ion proceedings in the cir
cult court. the transcript, however,
was not ready and argument was delayed.
The papers were not filed until late hour
this afternoon and there is no prof. ability
that the decision can be reached before
the time appointed for holding joint
convention at noon tomorrow. At pres
ent there is no reason to change the pre-
vious statement that two conventions will
be held. The Democratic convention, OF
course, will be presided over by the pres
ident Of the senate, and is announced to
be held in the hail occupied by
that body. The Republican convention
will be held in the house, but it is uncer-
tain whether Col. Robertson will preside.
In case he should preside he would prob
ably be cited to answer for contempt of
Judge Ayres' court. Neither Robertson
nor his friends will state definitely what
his intentions are. If two conventions
are held each party will develop the
necessary majority of the general assem-
bly, by refusing to recognize the action Of
their opponents in unseeting members.
Two senators will be elected, and the en-
tire question transferred to the United
States senate for final settlement.
The two houses of the Legislature voted
separately to-day for United States sena-
tor. In the senate, Turple (DemocraD,
received 80, and Harrison (Republican),
IS In the house Harrison received SO,
Turple, As; Alien, (. OF the four votes
cast for Allen, three, those of Messrs.
Cake, Glover and Mackey, were by Re-
publcans. Robinson is Democrat.
